Brendan Goddard has names his Best 22 today assuming Williams, Saad and Lonie are signed to carlton.
He proves to me he is guessing and not being honest as he suggests. He doesn't have a good understanding on the team imo.

Backline
“Caleb Marchbank or Lachie Plowman, there’s a question mark on Marchbank, Mitch McGovern at full-back, Sam Petrevski-Seton, Adam Saad, Jacob Weitering and Sam Docherty,” Goddard said.

Midfield
“Will Setterfield was really good this year, Jack Newnes and Marc Murphy on the wing. I like Murphy with a bit of experience in an outside role.
“Tom De Koning, Patrick Cripps, Sam Walsh and then you throw Zac Williams in there as that balance.

Interchange
“Levi Casboult, Ed Curnow, Paddy Dow and Michael Gibbons.”
“De Koning as the sole ruckman, Marc Pittonet not in the team.
He says:
Quote:
“I just had McGovern ahead of Liam Jones to be honest. I’d have Weitering play on the big monsters and McGovern to play on the second stringer on the higher half forward with his ability to read the footy, I think he surpasses Jones to be honest.”
Lets man up his backline
vs Lions forwards Daniher (201), Hipwood (203) and McStay (196)
vs Cats forwards Hawkins (198), Cameron (196), Dangerfield/ Rohan (189)
vs Tigers forwards Lynch (199), Reiwoldt (196), Martin (186)
Who does McGovern take above?
to be honestWho does Plowman take above?
Who is the No.! KPF Weitering takes on?
Jones turns 30yo in February. Whilst he does make some mistakes trying too hard, playing his nrmal defensive game, he is No 1 for intercept marks, and 1 percenters. He has good chemistry working with Weiters. Honest Brendan doesn't explain the ommission of Jones and the advantage Gov brings.
Yes we do need to plan for a replacement for Jones in 2022 or 2023, but not with 190cm McGovern.
Furthermore, I'd prefer Marchbank to be back as the interceptor and Plowman to surpress the small forward which he has done with aplomb. That way Jones can focus on his golden fist as a hard tagger of the opposition No 1 or No 2 KPF. With team defence its reasonable to mix n match opponents between Weiters and Jones, both big boys, but Gov on Hipwood or Hawkins or Reiwoldt will get rag dolled.
Lonie? Please no. We have SPS Fisher and Betts for that spot in 2021, and if we were really keen on a good small forward we would look at circa 2021 Butler, in Higgins. imo. He also states we are looking for another mid to help Cripps, so I don't know why the Lonie talk...yes I do.
He is expecting Dow to have a breakout year (? please explain), and he's expecting Gibbons to be ahead of a few other players.
Oh yeah, Goddard is a sainst man with an allegiance to the club who screwed his career, Effendrugs*
